SZA (aged 34 as of 2024) was born on 8 November 1989 in St. Louis, Missouri. However, she grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey, USA.
Imani‘s dad was an executive producer at CNN, while her mother was an executive at AT&T. She has an older half-sister, Panya Jamila, and an older brother, Daniel, aka Manhattan, a hip-hop star.
Regarding her education, Solána attended Columbia High School. She later proceeded to Delaware State University but dropped out in her last semester.
Did SZA undergo plastic surgery?
In a phenomenal 2023 interview with Elle Magazine, the Good Day star shared that she enhanced her voluptuous shape.
I treat my bum like a purse. It is just there to enhance whatever else. And that is why I paid for it: it works by itself.
SZA had previously hinted at having a BBL, a surgery in which a doctor transfers fat from your hips, belly, and lower back to your bum, in her 2022 album SOS. On the track Conceited, she responds to the speculation about her body singing,
I just got my body done, and I have no guilt about it. I just heard your opinion, and I could have done without it.
When asked why she decided to address the speculations in the track, Rowe reveals that she sometimes has a deep desire to shut everyone up based on her upbringing and educational background.

Why did SZA get a BBL?
The renowned singer once revealed the reason behind her undergoing the surgery to change her physique. She said:
I have always wanted to have a super fat bum with less gym time. I did not succumb to industry pressure; I succumbed to my eyes in the mirror.
SZA’s nose job
While the songwriter has been open about having a BBL done previously, she denies that her nose, face and freckles are anything but natural beauty. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, SZA said:
I hear crazy things about myself. I heard I had a facelift, I heard I had a nose job, I heard my teeth were fake. Do I need to go out and get a nose job because you all made me feel like I need one?
She went on to add:
You would rather believe the TikTok or any Twitter thread; you could just google yourself and figure it out. There have been clear instances when I talked about my freckles. But what am I supposed to do, post a debunking thread? That is crazy!
The star expressed this rumour as high-key offensive. Nonetheless, this has not stopped fans from posting SZA’s before and after photos online to ascertain if her nose was surgically enhanced.
